PIR pins

Hey all I hacked out a PIR from a motion detector, now I need to know what
pins are what. The thing looks like this:
(top view)

_____
/ o \
= | o o |
\_____/

Okay, well it a circle. The "o" are the pins. The "=" is a small tab on the
side. Any ideas?

    A 750K file sent to the list really isn't all that funny.

    Well I had no Idea It was going to be that big until it was gone, so
    why don't you do a tutorial on how to send a picture using something
    we all have, and I will be most happy to learn. this ascii stuff does
    not come out readable most of the time. I am sorry for the size but I
    was trying to help (what is this list for ??)

    Ok, so is source power, and drain the signal pin? Here's a few tips on
    decreasing the size of your images. First, don't use BMP, make them GIF.
    Second, decrease the image to two colors. Third, get rid of all that extra
    white space around it. Four label the image, then define with just plain
    text. Thanks again.
